This week’s category is ‘Nutritious Beef Inspirations’ from our own kitchens. My dish? These fabulous Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps! If you’re a fan of P.F. Chang’s (or Pei Wei’s) Lettuce Wraps, then here’s a weeknight dinner you’ll absolutely love. It features good ol’ Texas beef, cooked with garlic, brown sugar and soy sauce. So delicious, you’ll head back for seconds and even thirds. Let’s put it this way… C ate about 8 the first time I made them. 🙂

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seed oil and brown beef with garlic. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and crushed red pepper. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.

Divide into four servings, line plates with lettuce leaves and top with steamed rice, then beef. Sprinkle green onions over the top and serve.
